Bukshot Horrorthon
[Skit- Dan O'Herlihy as Conal Cochran and Tom Atkins as Daniel Challis]
Conal Cochran: You don't really know much about Halloween. You thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy. It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands, and we'd be waiting in our houses of wattles and clay. The barriers would be down, you see, between the real and the unreal, and the dead might be looking in to sit by our fires of turf. Halloween... the festival of Samhain! The last great one took place three thousand years ago, when the hills ran red with the blood of animals and children
Daniel Challis : Sacrifices
Conal Cochran : A part of our world...of our craft
Daniel Challis : Witchcraft
Conal Cochran : To us, it was a way of controlling our environment. It's not so different now... it's time again. In the end, we don't decide these things, you know; the planets do. They're in alignment, and it's time again. The world's going to change tonight. I'm glad you'll be able to watch it
[Silver Shamrock Song]
Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Happy, happy Halloween, silver shamrock
Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Happy, happy Halloween, silver shamrock
[Tommy Lee Wallace as Silver Shamrock Announcer]
It's almost time, kids. The clock is ticking. Be in front of your TV sets for the Horrorthon. And to remember the big give away at 9:00. Don't miss it. And don't forget to wear your masks. The clock is ticking. It's almost time! (Laughter)
